Golden Chain Tree
Laburnum anagyroides
(la-BURN-um) (an-a-gy-RO-id-eez)
This tree represents a small personal victory for me. After several attempts of trying to cultivate this plant it seems I have finally done it. When something like this happens I look back on my other experiences with Laburnum and think it was the other trees were planted in an exposed winter site. They don’t seem to like that. The tree in the photos in also planted in a slightly shady area. Well it certainly brightened my day when from across the garden this beauty’s siren was calling me.
